Woman dies a week after she was shot in Southeast Portland

Kim Mackintosh, a 43-year-old woman who was shot in the head with a shotgun in her Southeast Portland home a week ago, died today, police said.

Her 92-year-old father, John Wesley Myers, was taken into custody last week, accused of two counts of attemped aggravated murder in connection with the shooting. A Multnomah County grand jury will be convened to determine if Myers should face murder instead in his daughter's death.

Her brother, Mark Myers, 49, who was shot in the chest, is in fair condition at OHSU Hospital, a hospital spokeswoman said Friday.
The shooting occurred about 7:30 a.m. at their home in the 4200 block of Southeast Cora Street. Officers found Mark Myers wounded outside the home, and Kim Mackintosh on a couch inside, after they ordered the elder Myers to come out of the house with his hands up.

Mackintosh's 12-year-old son, who is severely autistic, was found hiding inside the home, but was unharmed. He has been placed in a temporary foster care home for developmentally disabled children.

Mackintosh was described as her son's and father's full-time caregiver. Police have not cited a motive in the shooting, but described the elder Myers as suffering from dementia.
